    people are AWFUL at estimating portions, so yes, i count.
    i have a gram scale from, um...previous...needs, but i will be using it to weigh foods now.

    It would be easier to just weigh out a portion. More accurate too.

    I definitely count them out based on what the package says is a serving size. Otherwise, I tend to underestimate so I don't feel guily about eating "just one more!" lol.

    Maybe someone has allready said it, but weigh the chips instead of counting them. Your numbers will be more reliable that way.

    Or just not weigh them at all, just eat a small amount every now and then.

    Weighing is a better solution, I think... since chips are often different sizes.

    I count anything that gives me a number amount for a serving size. And I get mad if someone tries to steal one because then I have to get up and replace it!

    Nope, I can't be good and put the bag back so I ONLY buy the small bags when I'm really craving them, then I can eat the whole bag lol.

    I have a food scale. I actually seem to get MORE chips in that 1oz than it told me I could, so it's a win.

    When I do indulge in chips I count them and weigh them, since weighing is more accurate due to chips differing in size :).

    I weigh my snacks servings to make sure I am getting the the correct portion size with a small digital kitchen scale. (ie, nuts, chinese noodles, dried fruit, etc). I do count my mini rice cakes (13-15 as the package states), crackers, etc. This way I dont overindulge.
